New Videos - Golden Boy + Jean Alesi

There are two new videos available, on the videos page. Here is a short intro to both...

Kintaro Oe is a boy, fresh out of university, looking for a job, at modern Japan. He is the main character of the cult tv series "Golden Boy" (GB).

GB is a very special show. Most western people have plenty of stereotypes, relative to the japanese culture; one of those stereotypes is thinking of the japanese, as folks who rate a "job-for-life" as the most utterly important thing on their existences. I don't know how true that is, but Kintaro Oe has a different job, each episode, and that makes him a very special jap dude (thus going against the established patterns) OR else... makes the stereotype yet another western fallacy.

Kintaro Oe starts as a computer programmer, using the C programming language. However, Kintaro was a law student... and the reason he really accepts jobs is mostly libidinous.

You should download my selection of Golden Boy's episode #01, that shows the exact moment, when Kintaro Oe learns about the C programming language.

The second video features Prost driver, Jean Alesi, at Nurburgring 2001.

Jean Alesi is this year's F1 championship mileage champion Alesi completed ALL races, *except* for Nurburgring when, on the last lap, he was too optimistic, overtaking young Raikonen.

You can download a video that shows Alesi spinning the beautiful Prost, to the gravel.

Go Prost! Go Alesi!
